In a year when running while masked is the norm, the 2021 Fight Child Hunger 5K Run/Walk was an amazing success! David Brubaker of Central Brevard Sharing Center kicked off the even with a beautiful National Anthem, while The Childrens’ Hunger Project’s Tammy Shelley led the warmup. Even with a chill in the air, the sky was beautiful and participants enthusiastic! Volunteers, vendors and sign holders encouraged the 5K runners, walkers and rollers every step of the way. Many thanks to the sponsors, teams and volunteers who helped ensure our success, meaning it’s a success for local children at risk of hunger. Thanks to our Honorary race chair, Mara Bellaby of FLORIDA TODAY, and to Brevard Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Mullins for their attendance and support for this 5K.
